Terrorist Noordin M Top Was Sodomized


A forensic pathologist said on Wednesday that an examination of the body of the terrorist mastermind Noordin M Top, who was killed during a raid in Central Java last month, indicated that he had been sodomized at some point in his life."There is an anomaly in Noordin's anus because it is shaped like a funnel," said Mun'im Idris, a forensic pathologist from the University of Indonesia. "It indicated that somebody had sodomized him."Mun'im was part of the team of experts that conducted the autopsy on the body of Noordin, a Malaysian-born terrorist sought for a string of attacks carried out across the country in the name of Islam. It is unclear why Mun'im released the information.

Badaruddin Ismail, a spokesman for Noordin's family in Malaysia, told the Jakarta Globe that he accepted the allegation but insisted it remained unclear as to when the sodomy took place when he was a child or as an adult. "I don't know about his private life so I cannot comment more," he said.Other media outlets that carried the story on Wednesday, speculated on Noordin's "sexual deviance" because of the anomaly. Homosexuality, though not against the law in the country, remain unacceptable among the nation's mainstream religious communities.The comments from Mun'im are likely to spark anger among some extremist members of the Muslim community that supported Noordin and his supporters.

Separately, National Police spokesman Nanan Soekarna said he had no information about the allegations."I haven't received the report about the anomaly on Noordin's body because it is not a part of the investigation, " Nanan said, adding the information would not affect the investigation.Nanan also said that the family could collect the remains of the terrorist on Thursday."Noordin's body can be collected by his family on Thursday because we have wrapped up the investigation, " he said, adding the family would come to the headquarters in the morning and they would go to Kramat Jati Hospital with officers from the National Police in the afternoon. Badaruddin said the family was expected to claim the body on Friday.

Greenpeace boycott Palm oil products Duta Palma

Environmental organization Greenpeace India has demanded that all Indian palm oil importers and corporate consumers immediately stop palm oil sourcing from Indonesian companies like Duta Palma who make palm oil by destroying forests and tiger habitat in Indonesia. An investigative report issued by Greenpeace Indonesia released on Thursday links India's growing palm oil imports and corporate apathy to Duta Palma's destruction of hundreds of acres of Indonesian rainforests and tiger habitat in complete disregard of Indonesian government&# 39;s moratorium on such activities in the rainforest. Big Indian corporates like Ruchi Soya, Adani -Wilmar, Godrej Industries, Parle, Britannia are among many who use Indonesian palm oil in their products on a large scale.  "Duta Palma's dirty oil could well be entering into their supply chains. Yet, so far, no Indian company has taken any visible steps to clean up their supply chain, to delink their brands from the ...

If Soeharto became National Hero

Three short years after his death, Indonesia's dictator Suharto has been   nominated to a shortlist to be designated a "National Hero." The final decision   rests with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. and any honors will likely be   announced on November 10, Heroes’ Day. President Obama is scheduled to visit  Indonesia around that date.  After Suharto died in January 2008, Indonesia's former dictator General Suharto   has died in bed and not in jail, escaping justice for his numerous crimes in   East Timor and throughout the Indonesian archipelago. One of the worst mass   murderers of the 20th century, his death tolls still shock... We cannot forget that the United States government consistently supported   Suharto and his regime. As the corpses piled up after his coup and darkness   descended on Indonesia, his cheerleaders in the U.S. welcomed the "gleam of   light in Asia." In the pursuit of realpolitik, U.S. administration a...

Blasphemy in the name of religion

The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) wishes to bring the attention of the Human Rights Council (HRC) to violations of the right to the freedom of expression and opinion that are being engendered through the use of Indonesia’s legal provisions prohibiting blasphemy. Religious blasphemy is prohibited in Indonesia under Law No. 1/PNPS/1965, with such provisions also being later adopted within the Penal Code (KUHP) under Article 156a. Paragraph (a) of this article uses vague language, which opens the door to abusive uses of this provision, to prohibit any acts and expression of views considered to be blasphemous, and carries a maximum punishment of five years imprisonment. A similar maximum punishment is also carried by paragraph (b) of the article, which prohibits any acts and expression of views calling for others to embrace atheism. Alexander Aan is an atheist currently undergoing a trial at the Muaro Sijunjung District Court, West Sumatra. According to his lawyers from ...
